Enough

I had a dream
About me without eyes
Blood seeping down my mouth
Smiling with loneliness in my eyes

I don’t know what I am
Or who I am

Or what’s wrong with me
I just know this isn’t right

I don’t feel alright

Everything is collapsing onto me
I just can’t breathe
I can’t see

What’s going on around me?
I’m just so scared of the shadows
How I hear them close in on me

What am I to them?
What am I to people?

So afraid of these people
I can’t touch them
I can’t

Because it scares me so much
I want to stop me
To escape me

Because I know it hurts so much
I love her
I want her

But I’m afraid to touch her
I don’t want to hurt her
I don’t want to

I have to stop this
I’ve had enough of this

I’m tearing myself apart
They’ve already taken so much
I’ve had enough
I’ve had enough…
